Apache slow

Hey, I have recently upgraded to the latest version. There seems to be a problem: Almost every time I try to access the web server it lags for at least a few seconds before it loads the page, any page. Sometimes the web browser freezes in the loading... state, and sometimes(very few times) it loads instantly.

Any ideas? I am running on Windows 7 x64, I have plenty of memory and processing power.
